What Would You do if You Won the Lottery?

There was a time when I was lottery freak, so I can relate to this as there were times where I won a lot of money too. No matter how much I planned about doing something from winning amount, I would end playing it for lottery again. Sometimes we think of making more and more money through lottery, its like when luck is favoring you, dont stop!!

@zebra2222,If a miracle happens and I win a lottery,the first thing I would like to do is buy a small,but comfortable house for my family and a lot of books for my home library.A part of the money I'll donate to institutions that help poor students continue their studies.Then I'll like to travel to wildlife sanctuaries and holy places of India which have been an irresistible source of attraction for me since my adolescence.

I'll give my family members their share,my children, renovate my house, donate some to the charity institution, give some amount to my friends and neighbors who are needy, make a factory so that I can help some unemployed and have some trip and lastly, save for the rainy days.

I have a plan. I would hire professionals to help me with the money, so it would not become a "job" for me. I would set up several trusts. One would be for college for the younger family members, and would continue for their descendants. Another would run a real estate holding company, to fund the other trusts after the initial money is spent. The third would be a scholarship for foreign language teachers in California so they could afford to visit the country where their language is spoken every third year. The fourth trust would make sure all of my family members have medical, dental and vision insurance and that any medical costs for catastrophic illnesses are covered. The fifth trust would allow me to travel and play for the rest of my life. That's the plan. It pays to be left-brained, analytical sometimes.

I will buy farms first then donate and help the needy, just make improvements at the house from the farms income. I wont do the rest of your questions.

First of all I get a handsome investment with it after one I examined my needs than I spent on it after that I spent on wishes. One of my wish is to help someone which is needy I get real satisfaction from that.

I am not interested in lottery because it is like a sin in thoughts earning without hardship, but If I get money through lottery then I will donate half of the amount to the needy people and half I will spend for my family members and for my personal use - invest for my son's future, one flat for him / for us, one school ( I like to run school for children as well mentally retarded children) spend for the kids who want to study but no money etc.,

Let me start dreaming!

Savings. It will definitely add to the university funds of my future children. How I'll save it I can't decide on yet, whether it will go on stock exchange and make it grow, or really by just putting it in the bank. I already have a house and car so those aren't a problem. Money is going to be harder to earn in the future, it never hurts to save as early as now.
